Why is my floor still sticky after mopping?

• <div><p>If your floor is still sticky after mopping, chances are you used too much or too little of the cleaning solution. Using too little won’t get all of the grime off, but using too much can leave its own residue. Refer to the cleaning solution’s instructions and dilute it as directed.</p></div>

Q: What if the floor has only lost its luster and not been damaged or blemished?

• <div><p>Before starting on a full refinishing project, determine if your floors need to be completely sanded down to the bare wood or if the damage is shallow and mostly cosmetic. Deep scratches and gouges will require you to rough sand using a drum sander or belt sander, but small surface scratches or floors that have only lost their luster don&rsquo;t need a complete overhaul. Instead, you can skip the rough sanding step and sand-screen the old finish with a buffer, removing only the top layer of polyurethane.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain vinyl or linoleum floors?

• <div><p>Regular sweeping, damp mopping, and avoiding harsh chemicals help maintain their appearance.</p></div>

Q: How long do polished concrete floors last?

• <div><p>If properly installed and maintained, polished concrete floors can last 50 years or longer. Concrete can be a difficult material to handle, requiring expert knowledge in mixing and application. Make sure you&rsquo;re working with a licensed masonry contractor and that you&rsquo;re investing in an annual deep cleaning to maintain its life span.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to have floors polished?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-shine-hardwood-floors.htm">Floor polishing</a> isn&rsquo;t technically necessary, but it will help your floors last longer and hold up better to scratches. Floor polish is a thin coating that fills in small abrasions on your floor and makes them less visible, and it can act as a protective covering that prevents future damage to the floor underneath. Floor polish helps protect against water and moisture, so it&rsquo;s a great service if you want to extend the lifespan of your floors. Additionally, polish makes your floors shine, making your home look cleaner and more inviting.</p></div>

This was a complete disaster. Completely missed a night stand, and left patches undusted on dressers, furniture and mirrors. Wanted to talk about herself constantly and left my kitchen floor sticky. Will never use again, lousy on every level.

It took a long time because they are very busy and were working outside as long as they could. The project started January 21 and finished February 23. We had picked up some of the new items ourselves, but they picked up the vanity and all the tub-shower-toilet stuff from A.Y. McDonald's. Ben...

We purchased the tile over 6 months before it was to be installed because the main contractor was working outside as long as possible. So it was a balancing act among painting, flooring, and the main job. As with all of these kinds of projects, the timing didn't go the way we wanted, but it...

Boyd did an excellent job! Our rooms have complicated angles and Boyd did a great job with all of his cuts for our floor. He even did an incredible job undercutting our stone fireplace to fit the floorboards under our hearth. Boyd is a very skilled carpenter! I highly recommend him!!!

Our half bath was cramped, outdated, and ugly. The pink sink wasn't bad, but the pink toilet was awful. It had been a kitchen pantry before the previous owners remodeled the kitchen and bath. An odd thing: they had moved the entry for the bathroom but left the old pantry door; it opened to...
